Speaking to reporters at the White House Wednesday, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard confirmed former President Barack Obama has been referred to the Department of Justice for criminal investigation. The referral comes after Gabbard investigated the origins of the 2016 Russia hoax against President Donald Trump and found Obama directed high ranking officials in his administration, including CIA Director John Brennan, to cook intelligence and claim Russia colluded with Trump to win the White House. The discredited Steele Dossier was used to carry out the order.
"We have referred and will continue to refer all of these documents to the Department of Justice and the FBI," Gabbard said after a question from Emily Jashinsky. "The evidence that we have found and that we have released directly point to President Obama leading the manufacturing of this intelligence assessment."
"There is irrefutable evidence that detail how President Barack Obama and his national security team directed the creation of an intelligence community assessment that they knew was false," she continued.
“Are you referring former President Obama to the DOJ for criminal implications?”
